BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (WOOD) — Both directions of I-94 are closed west of Battle Creek and an evacuation order is in place due to two pileups including as many as 115 vehicles and one fatality, according to Michigan State Police Lt. Rick Pazder.

The evacuation covers a three-mile radius from I-94 at the 90 mile marker, which is located near 44th Street in Charleston Township. MSP is asking anyone who lives in the area to leave their homes immediately due to a possible hazmat situation.
